| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “if it’s bright when added to a system, there’s something else wrong in the system, in my opinion” I agree @metaldetektor and that’s exactly my opinion of what people are experiencing when they feel Nordost Valhalla 2 cables are bright (although ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’ve reverted back to causal listening mode for the past while while waiting for the MU1, Tambaqui, and fancy cables to arrive - just enjoying music. I tend to flip between states with the most time just listening to music. But a day ago my used ... | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass Totally agree with those saying Audioquest Hurricane. I found that the bass on this cord seems just slightly accentuated beyond neutral with a touch of bloom/glow, which definitely can be a good thing if that is what you are after. Bigger bass but... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? A used mint condition Mola Mola Tambaqui came up for sale from a Canadian distributor for a fair price, so I went for it. Really looking forward to listening to this pairing, comparing with the Diablo DAC, and comparing with my Innuos Zenith Mk II... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @debjit_g , on other forums and also in some reviews, I’ve seen people mostly say that the Taiko Extreme bests the MU1. At a more “Extreme” cost, of course…. In terms of generalizations I think Christiaan at HiFi Advice seems to do a good job des... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? My time with the Merason DAC-1 has been truly enlightening. Pretty much everything I said above that I attributed to my Innuos gear I now realize was coming from my Diablo DAC module. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s an excellent performer more re... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “For the record, I found that my hearing began to suffer greatly on my wedding day and has degraded precipitously since that time. “ @ghasley , you might be on to something. Someone should do a study! In the interest of science. There is also the... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I think my experience adding the PhoenixUSB Reclocker to my Innuos Zenith might be a good example of how your streaming performance can be upgraded with more investment. In my case it added precision in the sense of greater focus and clarity for i... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “I tried alternating between LEDs on and off and lo and behold the highs and details returned with them turned off” Innuos has a thing where they are always saying how noisy led’s can be. It’s why they go “stealth mode” for the most part. But t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Hi @rockrider , catching up…. I did try the N20 with and without my PhoenixNet in the chain. I think I mentioned somewhere in the many posts above, that while the PhoenixNet sounds fantastic with my Innuos gear and definitely improves things, I f... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Okay, let’s move on lol…. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? +1 @arafiq and @lalitk! I know moving on from the N20 was a bit premature, but while I had planned to have the cash “locked up” in my demo gear until I was through testing, I had a buyer approach me, and I know how long gear can be listed even at... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lordmelton , okay, my mistake. The DAC1 is a really, really fine DAC. You will find almost all people agree. I enjoy it! It’s not very obvious that it doesn’t do 176k (aside from with USB, so Innuos works great!). I mean, they say everywhere it ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? It’s all good and no worries! It’s the internet. There’s a lot of nastiness on these boards but I’ve also gleaned a TON of great info on this forum over the years. Including on this thread. Hopefully I’ve helped others somehow as well. I could b... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Makes good sense @ghasley and thank you as always. I am really quite interested in the MK2 version of the DAC1 too. In theory it should compete at a much higher level, but there are no reports on how it sounds yet. |
